    @thor14

    Disabilty  Rights UK site has a good guide to completing PIP forms including a draft diary you can adapt.  Good idea to submit a 7 day diary with your PIP application.

    Do you not have CAB or similar, or local authority welfare rights in Northern Ireland?

    This  whole process is extremely stressful & that’s not helping people’s problems.

     oh my goodness, that is so long, cannot believe it’s taken that long. This is making people ill. I do not know how they can justify that length of time.

    Hi weaver, I am seeing cab when my forms come in & I am hoping that mine is all paper based & there’s enough info as my dla forms are being submitted aswell from my last assessment, if I have to go for assessment I really don’t know how I will cope.

    Hi weaver, thank you so much! I am dreading this whole process I cannot think of anything but how I am going to cope if I am put of & how I will pay people to do everyday things for me. Also if I lose my motability car which that’s the only thing that gives me a bit of independence.

    It can be a long and stressful process that's why you should try to get support if you can get it so you can have time to switch off from it. Good luck
